FORTUNATE FAMILY.

The Family OF . Defunct Miser Accident.
ally Find = box Containing $50. 900.
MILWAUKEE, Wis.,, April IA romantic
discovery OF hidden treasure in the cellar
OF house on the South Side came to light
to-day. The fortunate gamers by the find
are the family Of Henry J. Peters, an old
resident Of this city, who died nearly year
ago. aged about sixty years. Peters, who
for many years kept q grocery and saloon
at the corner of First avenue and Scott
street, was niggardly in his habits, was a.
ways miserably dressed and bore the repu-
tation of being miscr. When on his death
bed he declined to make will or give his
wife accurate information Is to his affairs,
but told her that after his death she would
find that he had left plenty for herself and
children. After the old mans death the
house was ransacked from top to bottom,
but no signs Of money. bonds or securities
OF any kind were found. Months went by,
and the heirs were inclined to give up hope,
when one day recently an accident occurred
which brought happy result. The sewer
under the house became clogged and work
men were engaged to remedy the trouble
On taking up the flooring Of the cellar pre-
paratory to their WORK, the men came across
heavy box, securely locked and too pom
derous to be easily moved. On opening the
chest it was found filled with gold coin, dol
lars. eagles and foreign money to an aggre.
gate of nearly $20.OOO The probate judge
was Immediately notified of the find. The
family, comprising the widow and three
children, are now living in comfortable cir
cumstances. Peters had been resident Of
Milwaukee for twenty-fv years.

FISHERY PERPLExITIES.
The Value of ALASKA Seal Fisheries Neces-
states a Tempe rate Course.

The Value of Alaska Seal Fisheries Neces-
States enptr rate Course.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-Thc Department
of State is carefully considering the Iues-
ton of the jurisdiction OF the United States
over the Alaskan fur seal fisheries. The
statement made in the Canadian Parlia-
ment yesterday to the effect that Il COM
munication on the ubject had been sent by
that Government to Secretary Bay <lrd is
denied by the State Department, and it is
said that all of the correspondence touch
ing fisheries has been carried On directly
with the Government of Great Britain.
This fact. it is believed, will ex-
plain the delay in hearing from the
State Department, of which complaint
has been made at Ottawa. The United
States laws under which certain Brit
ish Columbian vessels were seized by the
revenue cutter Corw;n last season are more
than twenty years old, and the question of
a conflict between them and the law of ma
tons is one peculiarly knotty and difficult
of settlement. The fact that the question
has been raised strengthens the Depart
ment of State in its determination to con-
tinue to pursue the temperate course 1t has
SO far followed in the negotiations with
Great Britain concerning the Canadian
fisheries. The vast Alaskan fisheries
are thought to be quite as important to
this country as are the Nova Scotian in
shore fisheries, and the State Department
Is necessarily obliged to so shape its con-
structIon of laws and treaties as to pre-
serve the right of the United States to the
exclusive enjoyment of the Alaskan
fisheries, while maintaining the treaty
rights of our fishermen in North American
Il Il

position assumed by the department must
apply equally TO Atlantic and Pacific

TORONTO, Ont, April 29.-At last nights
session of the farmers convention which is
being held here, the following resolution
was passed: THAT, in the opinion of this
convention, the removal of all restrictions on
trade between the Dominion of Canada and
the United States is desirable either by q

agreed upon by the Governments of the
respective countries, and that the officers
and executive committee of the convention
are hereby authorized to take such action
in the premises as shall best promote the
object Of this resolution ana that in the
event of fair reciprocity being unattaina-
bic, this institution memorabilia the Gov

of entering into commercial union with

Loss Of . Valuable British Ship by Fire
1Ae Crew Rescued.
SAVANNAH, Ga, April W.-Captain Pat
rick Doyle and eighteen men, part of the
crew of the British steamer Ben Hope,
were picked up this morning in Tyler
roads by pilot boat and brought to this
city. Their vessel. which was bound from
New York to Vera Cruz, was burned yester-
day morning and the crew had to take to the
boats. They were then fifty miles southeast
of the mouth of the Savannah river.
The Ben Hopes cargo consisted
of 1l5.OCO gallons Of crude petroleum. The
fire was first discovered at one o'clock
Thursday morning. The cases of OIL ex-
ploded rapidly and the heat was 80 intense
that the flames could not be extinguished.
AT eight o'clock the crew took to the boats.
The steamer was owned by Joseph Holt. OF
Liverpool, and cost Sl5O,O0O. The cargo
was shipped by Lambert a. Ayers, of New
York, but their loss has not been ascer-
tanned. The second mate, Dundas, and
Seamen j. Morley, X. Cundle, Thomas Col
quill and Albert Gasport are missing, but
the captain thinks they will reach shore
safely.

CLEVELAND, o., April 27.-The murder OF
Maggie McCarty still remains the shroud-

though the detectives have been working
diligently on every thing that promises to
give the slightest results. The social re-
lations of the victim have been inves-

with whom she has associated for over n
year past. Yet they are in the dark as
much as ever. and the crime, in all prob

Serious Poisoning Case.

CHICAGO, April ga special from Cow
ington, Ind, says: 'Word has been re-
ceived here Of the wholesale poisoning of a
family named Richardson in the southern
pert Of this (Fountain) County. The wife
and one boy are dead and two other chill
dren are lying at the point of death. Ru-
mors are very conflicting as to the au.
thor of the poisoning. Some accuse Per
~ Richardson. the husband of the dead
woman. and others think that. the woman
did it herself. There is no doubt they were
poisoned, as q postmOrtem examination
showed considerable poison in the stomach
Of the woman. Mr.. Richardson admits
that he had some arsenic, but says he bur-

TRAIN ROBBERS.

Robbers Attack . Southern Pacific Express
Train In ArixOna-Ihcy Bring the train
Men to Time with Dynamite - The
Amount Secured Not Large.
Tucson, Ariz.. April 29--The Southern
Pacific western bound express, due here at
~ 80 last evening, was stopped and robbed
ut PapagO station, sixteen miles east OF
here, about $50 o'clock Wednesday even
ing. The number of men engaged in the
robbery is variously estimated from five to
eight. Cal Harper, the engineer, when ap-
preaching Papago, Q side station, was sig
nailed by red lantern to STOP He slowed
down, and. as he approached the
light he noticed distractions on the
track so placed that in case he
failed to stop the engine would spread the
track and derail itself. Immediately on
stopping dozen or more shots were fired
into the express car, ana o man with pis-
tol in each hand boarded the locomotive
and commanded Harper not to get down.
The other robbers had in the meantime
been prying at the express car door. and
failing TO get it open they placed stick Of
giant powder under it and compelled Har.
per to light the fuse attached. This he
was obliged TODD, but to avoid being blown
up, the messenger opened the car and the
tnguishing the fuse the men took
charge of the car, uncoupled the engine,
baggage and express car from the remain
der of the train and made Harper get on
the engine and pull ahead two lengths.
This being done, Harper was again put of
and the robbers took charge of the engine
and pulled six miles toward Tucson. Here
they killed the engine and left it. During
the run the robbers went through the mail
and express cars, but did not get more than
5000. They got two packages of railroad
money, one Of $1.92O and the other Of $500,
and also two packages Of postage stamps
going to the post Office at San Francisco. 1t
IS reported that the express messenger
threw $500 in gold into a stove, and so
saved it from the robbers. Nothing was
known here of the affair until past mid
night. when a telegram was received from
Pantano-a brakeman having walked back
eight miles to that place. a special was
sent down and the train brought in at six
O'Clock yesterday morning. None Of
the passengers were mOlcs;cd and
some of them knew nothing of the
trouble Until after their arrival here. Un-
der Sheriff Shibell was carly at the scene
of trouble, but could discover nothing that
would lead to the identity of the robbers.
Ten trailers under Deputy Sheriff NJ. F.
Shaw have left for the scene of the trouble
The robbers are believed to be discharged
railroad employees, although they compelled
Engineer Harper to show them how to
handle the locomotive. 1t is believed by
their actions in handling the train that they
were familiar with such work.
